Antique Ushak carpet

Object Description

An exquisite all over rustic design on this amazing green and pink faded antique Ushak carpet.  The large all over open design is what makes Ushak carpets so desirable too, easy to place in a room and so beautiful to furnish with.  From the late 19th century, the dyes are just stunning! Some minimal wear in places, but supplied with our underlay this would add strength to the carpet and stop it from moving on sisal, wooden floors, tiled floors and fitted carpet.  Thus preventing further wear, as this generally occurs when carpets move around.

Ushak rugs and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger Turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their sometimes softer palette than Persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room or under a dining table.

Object Literature

Often younger Ushak’s or Oushak’s will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs. This Anatolian carpet has an almost contemporary feel to it and would work in a modern space as well as traditional.  We clean every carpet before offering it for sale and make sure the ends and fringes are secured.  A decorative subtle piece ideal for a soft scheme.

Object Condition

Some lower areas of pile in areas, but lots of life and wool pile still on this beautiful Ushak carpet. In many ways the slight wear enhances the carpets appearance, woven around 130 years ago! Amazing natural dyes too!
